If you’re unsure whether you’re immune to measles and don’t want to receive another vaccination, a blood test is a reliable way to confirm your immunity status. The measles immunity blood test checks for antibodies to determine if you are protected against the disease. 

You can order this test online through BODYiQ,  Awanui’s self-requested testing service, without needing a GP referral. Results are available within days through your secure online portal.  Blood tests can be taken at any of Awanui’s 150+ collection centres across New Zealand. 

Please note: This test is self-funded and only useful to people unsure of their vaccination status. If you know you’ve already received two MMR vaccinations, there is no need to perform this test to check your immunisation status.
